A cataract is present when the normally clear lens of the eye becomes cloudy. Vision through a cloudy lens is like looking through a foggy window. Clouded vision impairs eyesight by making it difficult to read and see your surroundings. Cataracts commonly affect distance vision and cause problems with glare. Clouding of the lens is a normal part of the aging process and most individuals above the age of 65 have some degree of clouding. Above the age of 75 a majority of individuals have cataracts significant enough to impair vision. Most cataracts develop gradually over time and don’t usually affect eyesight in the early stages but visual disturbances occur as the clouding progresses. In the early stages of cataract development, visual problems can be alleviated with stronger lighting and prescription eyeglasses. At some point when visual impairment can jeopardize normal lifestyle, surgery may be required. Cataract removal is one of the safest, most effective and most common surgical procedures.
